We present a numerical method for the minimization of general multiorbital Gutzwiller variational wavefunctions in the Gutzwiller approximation [1]. The method is general in the sense that it can treat any type of local interaction, in particular spin-flip and pair-hopping interactions. To construct the variational wavefunction, we apply the φ-matrix formalism [2], and present a general approach for how to reduce the variational space by imposing lattice point group symmetries.
Using our numerical method we study the multiorbital Hubbard model for d-electron systems with rotational invariant Kanamori-interaction. The variational wavefunction is restricted to cubic symmetry and the properties of the model is studied with respect to; total electron filling, eg - t2g crystal field splitting and interaction strength.
This work is an extension of the Gutzwiller solver, used in the first principles LDA+Gutzwiller method [3], to general local interactions.
